I understand that everyone learns in his or her own style, but doesn't every instructor also teach in his or her own style as well? I think the instructor needs to find his way first then get better at hitting all the student styles after.

What to expect

While I believe it is better to start off on the tougher side and ease up during the phase, what about what I expect from the students? Should I expect little from them on day 1 and expect more as days pass or expect the most from day 1?

Got it all covered.

Realistically, how long should it take to have it all covered as far as preperation goes? I try to get all my notes together before each phase and each class, but there always seems to be something I should have added or done.

Learn from your mistakes.......

Is it realy all that different from working in the field? I remember being told how things should and would work, but until I got the hands on experience it was all just words. Cross training and watching another instructor is great for learning some tricks of the trade but I think you have to have your own classes to realy know what will and won't work for you.
